This homemade lasagna recipe can be made completely from scratch or you can use store bought ingredients! Up until last year, I was buying lasagna noodles. I now make them from scratch because they are so simple to make. Click here for my pasta recipe. The noodles are so tender and do not take that long to make.
What you’ll need for this lasagna recipe:
This easy recipe consists of mainly 3 ingredients; pasta noodles, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. I always grate my own cheese but you can buy it preshredded if that’s what you’re into.
Check out my recipes for pasta and sauce below-
Once you have all of the ingredients it’s as simple as layering the pasta with sauce and cheese. I typically can fit 3 layers in a dish. I like doing meat sauce in my because it makes it more of a hearty meal. This dish freezes well, up to 3 months in the freezer. If your like me and typically make a ton of extra food, this is a great way to get some freezer meals prepped for meals throughout the winter.
This last time, I made my sauce with moose meat instead of beef. It was amazing! If you cook with a lot of game meat, my meat sauce recipe can really be used with any ground red meat. I usually make a big batch and freeze it in mason jars to pull out for quick meals.
